Stan Lee is 95 years old and everyday we still have with him is a blessing. It was a terrifying time I am sure for those that are close to him. Since he has been home he has made a video for his fans letting them know he is home but battling pneumonia. This comes days after it was announced his long time manager was fired for a supposed Honey trap and missing millions.

Everyone is hoping for a speedy recovery from everyone’s favorite cameo star and creator. I know I would like to see him back at conventions once he is healthy again.

http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/2018/02/07/solo-a-star-wars-story-or-no/#respondThu, 08 Feb 2018 02:35:52 +0000http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/?p=1900Let’s get this out of the way first, I am a huge Star Wars fan. George Lucas has changed not only the face of modern day cinema, but of science, everyday life, and even gone so far as to alter religion. Not a day goes by where a Star Wars quote or reference isn’t available in any given situation. With that being said, with academy award winning director Ron Howard at the helm we journey into the backstory of one of the most loved characters in the Star Wars universe…Han Solo.

Han is a rogue, a rebel, a smuggler, an ace pilot, a cocky charmer, a scruffy nerf herder. Yet at first glance of the full trailer for Solo a Star Wars Story we see just how far from our beloved Han this movie will likely be. My first impression after watching and rewatching the trailer was, “this isn’t Star Wars. This is Fast and the Furious meets Star Trek.” Now while both enterprises are great in their own right, neither belongs in Star Wars. A shiny white clean Millenium Falcon with far to much lighting and bright chrome controls, a complete miss on why Han was no longer in the pilot academy for the Imperial Empire, throw in a couple of characters that have no place in the story line other than star appeal and eye candy and what are we left with? A younger Han who cannot, at first glance, recapture the magic and charm that Harrison Ford made iconic a terrific actor in Donald Glover that can’t seem to embody the same swagger as Billy Dee Williams, and thankfully our favorite Wookie Chewbacca.

Now while this is only at first glance, it seems that once more Disney doesn’t grasp what Star Wars truly is or means to its loyal fan base. Perhaps this trailer was just poorly executed, perhaps the movie will have the magic we all crave in our movies, perhaps we will learn new things about our young heroes….or perhaps this movie will be what we fear, the last hope of putting Star Wars back on the right path.

As we approach the grand finale of the epic first three stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the burning question on every fans mind is the same…where do we go from here?

For 10 years Marvel has provided us with storylines and characters we find ourselves caring about, drawn to their growth and struggles as we anxiously await each new chapter in this hopefully unending saga. Six months ago fans were both eagerly anticipating and equally dreading the crown jewel of Marvels Infinity War. At long last we would see the destruction that can be wrought from only the mad titan Thanos, we would see the end of several heroes times as their real life contracts came to their ultimate conclusion, knowing that with their end so would end our favorite decade of movies. Yet suddenly, new life has been breathed into Marvel and with it our hopes have ignited and our imaginations have run wild with the endless possibilities. Disney in its unending conquest of entertainment domination, has acquired Fox and with it the rest of Marvels cast lineup. X-men, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Deadpool and all their storylines are wide open to usher in a new wave of Avengers!

As every fan knows the Avengers lineup has consistently changed in the comic books, and this gives us hope for many more years of Marvel movie brilliance.

What we know: Black Panther is about to enter into the MCU and take charge, and who better than a genius fighter of a king to take up the lead for a new Avengers team. Ant-Man and Wasp will add to the depth of the new team and can open up a series of new humorous escapades for the team as Paul Rudd is always a laugh. Ms. Marvel, her entrance into the MCU can usher in the vast array of other worldly threats facing our heroes and with them…perhaps the cosmic entity of Silver Surfer?

What We Hope: The X-Men have struggled since X2 and need new life. Their timeline has been a mess, but by coming under the genius of Kevin Fiege perhaps we can find the right actors and actresses to portray our beloved mutants. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to see the classic storyline of the X-Men vs the Avengers to decide the fate of Magneto. Perhaps even more so, could this potentially lead up to (ten years down the road) Marvel Onslaught?

The Fantastic Four were Marvels first family and deserve the proper respect and rebirth given to so many hero’s. Besides, the relationship between a young Peter Parker and Johnny Storm has been long standing throughout the decades of these famous hero’s. let’s give them the entrance by welcoming them into the new wave of Avengers which coincides perfectly with the multiverse and the infamous Dr. Doom!!!

Needless to say the possibilities are now endless, and though we will forever be thankful to this current lineup of heroes that have given us epic memories, the future is bright and vast and filled with the what could be.

http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/2018/01/15/the-greatest-showman/#respondTue, 16 Jan 2018 02:12:35 +0000http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/?p=1867I am a huge musical theater nerd so I was overly excited when I heard that Hugh Jackman was staring in a new movie musical about P T Barnum. I have always been in love with the freak show. One of my favorite musicals is Sideshow. So I was in love with the idea of a movie musical showing us love for people who are different then normal. I have always loved what makes people unique.

The film is fantastic. I fell in love with it as soon as the music started. Almost every song is memorable and I have had the songs stuck in my head since walking out of the theater. I am sad that I didn’t go to the theatre sooner to see the show. It’s such a mesmorizing show. All the songs are memorable and they all brought me so much joy.

I sat in the theater almost crying so many times. I really loved the way they told the story. Each song felt like they were telling the story of these characters. The only thing I would have really enjoyed was if they had spent more time telling the story of all of the circus acts within Barnum’s circus. They all probably had pretty interesting lives and stories to tell.

If you haven’t made it out to see the show I would definitely get out to the theater to see the film before it leaves the theater. I already got the soundtrack and I haven’t stopped listening to it. I can’t wait to purchase the film when it comes out on Bluray.

Did you listen to each and every haunting audio with anticipation? Then you should check out Lore on Amazon Prime. Amazon has partnered with the podcast Lore to make a tv series of the same name.

Now I myself am not a fan of the podcast. I tried really hard to get into it. I found his voice to be too monotone for me. Though I really like the subject that he talks about. I have listened to a lot of the podcast for that reason. I was excited about the show because I felt the same way. I might not really dig his voice but I definitely like what the show is offering. I am a huge nerd when it comes to supernatural stuff.

The show is quite interesting if you like the creepy and supernatural. It’s worth watching if you want to learn about different wicked topics. I liked the way the show is presented and keeps you entertained when watching if this is your type of show.

You can always give the show a try yourself.

http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/2018/01/03/black-mirror-season-4/#respondThu, 04 Jan 2018 06:57:58 +0000http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/?p=1852Black Mirror comes back with a creepy bang. This season brings back the intellectual and intensity that each season before it has brought us. This season there are 6 episodes each with the same intensity as the last seasons. Each a thought provoking look into a society we may not be far off from.

I especially like episodes 2, 4, and 6. Each of these episodes had something that really pulled me in and made me think.

The first episode was about a VR game. With our gaming culture going the way it is, we are starting to see more VR games. The idea behind this episode is what if you could control the people who are mean to you in real life? It’s a spooky take on where we could be going with the technology. I think we are always one accidental discovery from finding out how to do things we are not yet capable of. I think that’s one of the most terrifying things about technology is there is always someone trying to find new and improved ways to use it for both good and evil and everyday people find ways to do things we never thought possible.

The second episode is about when we take surveillance too far. It definitely creeped me out. Do we really want to live in a society where every move is watched and life is censored? I know I surely don’t want to. I liked the idea of episode three. The fact that everything can be found out. It actually I think was the most disturbing of the episodes for me. I also really loved episode four. Dating is scary and awful and the idea that it’s all decided out for you is also just as terrifying. It was also one of my favorite episodes. The fifth episode is by far my least favorite and I still couldn’t tell you what it’s about because I really didn’t pay attention. The last episode was pretty great.

Overall the entire series was pretty great and this season was great. If you haven’t picked up the show yet, you should. It’s disturbing and weird. It’s amazing and terrifying all at the same time. Give it a chance if you want to see our future in a creepy almost twilight zone world.

I met my perfect human and we moved in together. I went to Defcon and SXSW and San Diego Comic Con. I was in a DC Villains punk group. I got to do a lot of fun things and I can’t wait to go to more events this coming year.

I have a long list of stuff to work on for the new year and can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Love,

Kitten.

http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/2017/12/06/colourpop-my-little-pony-palette/#respondThu, 07 Dec 2017 03:06:34 +0000http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/?p=1821I was super excited when I found out that Colourpop was collaborating with My Little Pony. I have seen so many collabs with the Friendship is Magic My Little Pony, so I couldn’t believe it when I saw the vintage ponies being represented. I get really excited to see something that meant so much to me in my childhood being sold again in products I use as an adult. So when I saw this I instantly had to jump at the chance to get it for myself.

The color palette is really pretty, my only real complaint with it is the color names to the ponies. It was weird to me some of the colors they choose to represent some ponies. Though the colors are all very beautiful and the packaging is really nice. I was a giant Firefly fan when I was a kid. (Firefly the pony not the tv show that FOX cancelled). I even still have the baby pony sitting on a desk in my room. I loved her so much. So the fact that she is part of this set just made me want to jump all in.

The best part about Colorpop cosmetics is they are really inexpensive and good quality. They are a good accessible makeup brand that makes great items with awesome fandoms and collaborations. That’s really important nowadays because everyone seems to really be stepping up their game when it comes to makeup. The fact that even more people are able to make makeup gives all these makeup brands a run for their money. You really have to have a catch nowadays. Even major brands are cashing in on the fandom gimmick. Glamglow even did a collaboration with Sonic the Hedgehog earlier this year. I am really sad that I missed that one. I hope at some point I get lucky and find it online.

I don’t think I am going to use the peach colors on the palette but I will for surely use the other colors. I can’t wait to start doing geeky makeup looks and OOTD’s on here and my Kitten Speaks Fashion instagram. So that I can share with you my love of makeup. Especially geeky makeup.

http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/2017/10/22/camp-frida-a-horror-camp-for-horror-enthusiasts/#respondSun, 22 Oct 2017 20:23:54 +0000http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/?p=1793I was lucky enough to see a facebook event for this the day before. I got super excited because it was basically happening down the street from me. I knew I wanted to go. My boyfriend is not a night person so I tried to find me someone else who would go with me so that I didn’t have to go alone, but I couldn’t find anyone to go with so I had to brave it going alone. I hate going to events alone and even more that it was a twelve hour event. Yet I braved it and I had a blast.

The event was at a art house near my home. As soon as I saw it I bought myself a ticket and then shamelessly tried to convince someone to go with me. I get uncomfortable going to things alone. No one wanted to spend the entire night awake. So I ended up going alone. I was nervous but I grabbed my Mischief plush and my Harley Quinn blanket and some snacks and had the boyfriend drop me off. He promised to come pick me up the next morning.

When I got there I got my wristband and got in line to get my ticket scanned. They had food and snacks available for purchase. They even had horror cupcakes available for a donation. The S’mores one was delicious.

The films they played were

Evil Dead

Sleepaway Camp

Blair Witch or Cabin In the Woods

Friday the 13th Part 4

The Burning

The Vvitch

Evil Dead 2

Now I was really happy that they had an another option for Blair Witch that film makes me feel very sick. Funny enough there were a lot of people that agreed with me. I had never seen The Burning. So that was neat to see a new film stuffed in between lots of classics that I knew well. I dislike the Vvitch so I actually sat in the second theatre during that film and colored. I was worried about falling asleep. I actually at that point almost went home cause I was really tired and wasn’t sure I was gonna make it. I am glad one of the “camp counselors” convinced me to stay through until the end.

They had coloring pages to color, a postcard you could send home to friends, Friday the 13th the game on the big screen and buttons you could buy for each of the films like little badges. I didn’t buy any of the buttons cause I have too many buttons. If you stayed through the entire event you got a real cool pin.

Overall the event was pretty sweet. I really enjoyed myself got to marathon horror on the big screen and have my horror for the halloween season since I was severely lacking it this year.

http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/2017/10/12/netflix-nights-it-follows-movie-review/#respondThu, 12 Oct 2017 19:39:57 +0000http://kittenspeaksgeek.com/?p=1769I had heard about this movie but not actually watched it until now. The movie seems silly. It’s about a creature/ghost something, that follows you through sexual contact. The premise is kinda funny like giving an STD a monster version. The idea that STD’s are kinda like monsters because they follow you around and cause lots of problems in peoples lives.

The film starts out with a guy sleeping with a girl and then telling her that she is now infected and the only way not to die is to pass it on. The film itself is entertaining. I enjoyed watching it and didn’t hate it. The actors aren’t over the top, the monster is kinda creepy. I would definitely be creeped out if a lady was chasing after me trying to kill me because I had slept with someone.

Overall if you haven’t seen it give it a watch, it is good enough to sit down and take it in on a chilly October night.
